PROGRAM BENEFITS

------

One of the most important aspects of a healthy lifestyle is one’s eating habits. Did you know that weight loss, on average, consists of 70% diet and 30% exercise? That means what you eat has a significant impact on your health!

Individuals should understand both what foods they are eating and how these foods affect their overall health and well-being. YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh offers Nutrition Coaching to provide education and support for those seeking to make changes in their eating habits for the sake of their long-term health.

Learn to incorporate healthy behaviors into your lifestyle, achieve results and connect with other members and staff at the Y along your journey.

Learn the value and methods of balanced meal-planning as it relates to USDA Guidelines. You will be given the opportunity to use a food journal and grow your knowledge about mindful eating around food labels, ingredients, and estimating portions.
